The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

one of my best friends, upon my return to my hometown, asked me if we'd (aaron and i) had gone south on our roadtrip. my mind must have grown perverted, because i really thought she was asking if we had had sex (no) so i hesitated because that seemed like an absurd question, but as i started to answer, it was clear that she was talking about the southern states, specifically rural Alabama, where she had heard scary stories about. ignoring m mind being in the gutter, it could be that my family and friends here tend to be much more subtle than my Californian friends. Aaron pointed that out- all of the facial expressions, etc., hold so much meaning- and we often say so much with little or new words. This helped aaron understand m background more, and it made me more aware of it. I don't have a solid history of communicating. it's definitely improved through the years, but mostly out of necessity. I still have a hard time getting over the (false) notion that if someone wants to talk about something important, than it's a sign that things aren't working or I'm doing an awful job or something similarly devastating. I can be so paranoid and uptight sometimes!
i've gotta get going- I've been rearranging my bedroom. my CA boxes and bags are half-unpacked, so the room looks a wreck. I've got the furniture where I want it now, so it's beginning to take form. the next room project will be decorating- I've got posters, etc., and I'll see if I can tie my girlhood with my 20s.
Kenosha's good, my family's fun, and tomorrow I'll probably get new tires.

I would probably be too . . . timid? to post a similar anicdote on my webpage. yet you are the one people think is shy! perhaps there is more than one way to hide from others . . .

Reply to: Aro
you-timid? I guess. you are very self-conscious about a lot of things. it's just that interactions with people are the most fascinating part of my days, usually, and they're slightly removed from the core of me, so they're easy for me to share. ask me a really deep question on the other hand, and if I answer at all, it isn't nearly as candid as I wrote here. I'm working on it.
and I'm shy in a lot of ways, but as shown here, not in others.
